Pleiades (M45) again


Better photograph of Pleiades (M45), compared to my earlier attempt. Used the telescope driving mechanism this time to avoid the streaks caused by Earth's rotation.

The stars in this cluster are very young, only a few million years old. Long exposure photographs show nebulocity around them; the clouds that they were born from.
